I'm down in Tucson and I keep my FC at ~4.0, my CYA at about 70, and run my pump ~9 hours a day with a 30% SWCG setting.

Thank you Eskimo Pie
I basically have the same numbers but have only been running my pump about 4 hours a day to maintain clean water and sufficient Chlorine levels of 3-4 ppm. This is a new SWG cell and I also have it set at 30%

Re: Need Information from Pool Owners in Arizona

I don't live in Arizona but I can tell you that a 4 hour pump run time is really to little. You should go for an 8 hour daytime run time and adjust your output accordingly. this will insure the pool is chlorinated throughout a longer period and there will be less possiblilty of a partial chlorine depletion and algae outbreak.
